You know, Klingons, for all the cheese they got saddled with over the decades, were sometimes given some truly amazing moments like that one. They're this hyper macho, warrior driven and hide-bound culture, but they value friendship in a beautiful way. They really get loyalty to a friend in a way that no other in-universe culture does.
Klingons are like those ancient warrior tribes that seemed barbaric at surface level when historians first studied them, but were found to be a lot more rooted in community, duty and survival once you get to know their ways. They are a product of surviving in the environment they did
They also grasp mental health better than people might think. Such as Martok and Worf watching Garak face his claustrophobia in order to save them:
Martok: There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.
Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.
And this admiration is coming from people who consider the Cardassians to be bitter enemies, which is even more astounding given how devious and dishonourable Garak can be.
i'm still convinced they simply have two urethrae rather than two dicks, which seems impractical. two urethrae would explain the double-stream, and, especially, why they were parallell/pointing the same direction. if a klingon had two dicks, the two pee streams would be going in two seperate directions, and that's not what we saw in the episode.

Also, Klingon men and women are both warriors and either can go to Stovokor if they have an honorable death.
Yeah but women can't head Klingon houses save for special circumstances
And yet there was a woman running the empire in Discovery. 🤷♂️
Hundreds of years passed between Discovery and DS9, cultures evolve and not always in a good way.
Only about 100 years.
Whoops, true. I somehow had it mentally placed closer to Enterprise than TOS.

To be fair though, both Worf and Martok are among the best Klingons. Somehow, I don't think Duras, or even Gowron, would have felt the same
How do non-binary Klingons defeat their enemies? They slash them
This is fantastic
It took me way too long to get that...
Oh yeah, Klingons can get it! Especially those Duras sisters.
"he's only got ONE? And it's TINY!?"
Oh fuck I forgot about the Klingon double dick

Why was the pee stream in an episode? What are they putting in Star Trek now?! WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE???
"Look! We're edgy now! They just did drugs, and now there's a klingon peeing!"

It was in an episode of the first season of Discovery, which I pretend mostly didn't happen and the show actually started with season 2.
Hell yeah DELETED! If you know what I mean
If you fight with honor then you deserve respect from everyone
It's wholesome, but it's also got a little too much "Geico caveman" energy.
Remember when they tried to turn those ads into a sitcom and it crashed and burned?
Remember being surprised when somebody failed trying to stretch a commercial that was different takes on a single punchline into a sitcom?
Me neither.
Can't be worse than young Sheldon
I don't know. I didn't watch it because why why would I watch a TV show based on an insurance commercial?
Is that a Klingon walking past the ad?
I love his shit eating grin when the other Klingon sees Jadzia.
But seriously FUCK YOU IF YOU'RE A TRIBBLE!
